I received mine yesterday and was quite disappointed to find the range finder is out of vertical adjustment and the split image does not come completely together horizontally at infinity. The out of vertical adjustment makes the range finder difficult to use in any light and very difficult in low light. I tried it with several of my screw mount lenses from Leica and Canon so do not believe it to be a problem in the lens. Other than this minor problem the Bessa R is a wonderfully simple metered camera for my Leica & Canon LTM lenses and an excellent bargain.
